I was happy with the ending. So many indie sci-fis build their scripts like a twist is coming and then nothing. With this one I was very happy when they said there was going to a revelation that there actually was one.

The revelation/twist was great, I'm just talking about how it resorts to them outrunning a thing in a car like the climax of Hurricane Heist. Don't get me wrong, I loved Hurricane Heist, but the scene fit that movie a lot better than this one.

Not kidding about Hurricane Heist, by the way. That is a movie that knows exactly what it is, and fulfills its expectations with complete abandon. It's not quite to the level of Emmerich's "2012", but it's damn close. Probably not top ten of the year, but certainly deserves an honorable mention.

I forgot how well executed that pool scene from Strangers: Prey at Night was, and it only makes me more disappointed in the film as a whole. The music dropping in and out whenever the camera dipped under the water...

I rewatched What Keeps You Alive, and it officially leapfrogged its way up into my top ten, bumping... let's say... Apostle. What Keeps You Alive is the real deal, guys. And JB, it would make a hell of a double-feature with Revenge.

EDIT: I can't emphasize this enough -- DO NOT WATCH A TRAILER BEFORE YOU SEE THE MOVIE. The trailers essentially give up the game, and would absolutely obliterate a big chunk of the film's impact.
